I rolled into San Antonio on Friday, June 4 for a weekend of fun, exploration, and relaxation with travel buddy/Rice friend Risa. We munched on some Mexican food and watched the sun go down poolside. Then on Saturday morning we mounted our bikes and hit the
Mission Trail. We stopped by Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose (above), and Mission Espada.
After spending most of the day on bikes and in the sun, we retreated to the shade of Texas Hill Country. We sipped wine at
Woodrose Winery and wondered what was going on (if anything) in the mind of peculiar Greek hostess. While it would have been nice to have hopped around more of the vineyards, by the time we finished up at Woodrose, the sun was setting and we had to move on to our final destination: the LBJ ranch.
For our final Saturday activity, we pulled into the
Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park and walked around the "Texas White House." Unfortunately, I forgot my National Parks Passport (where IS it anyway??), so I couldn't add a stamp to the book. Still, it was fun to see old cars, read about a bit of history, and chat up the park rangers. Once the sun finally slipped below the horizon, we snagged a spot on the lawn in front of the big, blow-up movie screen. We indulged in free popcorn and soda while watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Talk about a great way to end a day of adventure!

That sounds like a great day. Wish I could have come along. I also have a National Parks Passport which I always forget.
You had the complete day! Glad you got to share it with Risa.
Wow, Becky! What a great adventure. It sounds like you are one with visiting missions this month - in California and in Texas. If you ever forget your National Parks Passport again, you can just stamp a piece of paper and then cut it out and glue it in your passport later... :)
